• To anyone looking to acquire commercial radio programming software:

    Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules. Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity.

    If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so. We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request.

    To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum.

    The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate; just purchase it.

    For M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola).

    This is a large and very visible forum. We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. Please respect this.

DSDPlus FastLane will show the control channel in its channel window with 2 channels and should say TDMA.

I'm more worried about P25 LLA which is shipping with subscriber equipment. It's only a matter of time.

What is LLA you ask?


I'd like to understand what your problem with LLA is? It doesn't mean encryption, but it does add a 2nd layer of authentication to use the system, listening remains unaffected.

Sorry wrong acronym. I saw the URL and assumed it was the same. LLE is the encryption standard they're working on. It was approved late last year IIRC.

LLE encrypts the P25 control plane and obfuscates traffic analysis of talkgroups, NID, and other components that are decodable now even if the voice or data APDU is encrypted.

Nothing like building a digital radio standard so everyone can communicate with each other and then making it require a special code to communicate with each other. It only took 20 years to forget about that September morning.
